135 million years ago.
Pangaea began breaking up in the Early Mesozoic (~200 Ma). By the mid‑Cretaceous (~135 Ma) the major landmasses had separated into shapes and relative positions that are broadly recognizable as the continents we know today (though they continued to drift to their present locations afterward).
